The Secretary-General is also concerned about allegations that UNMISS did not respond appropriately to prevent this and other grave cases of sexual violence committed in Juba. Due to the gravity of these incidents, related allegations and the preliminary findings by UNMISS, the Secretary-General has decided to launch an independent special investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding these incidents and to evaluate the Mission’s overall response.

The Secretary-General reiterates his outrage over the acts of violence committed by the SPLA and opposition forces in Juba from 8 to 11 July, during which many South Sudanese civilians and two UN peacekeepers were killed.

The Secretary-General urges, once more, the Government of South Sudan to investigate these human right violations and to prosecute those involved in these unspeakable acts of violence.

Justice delay is the justice denied.
Your excellency & Honourable Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, UN SG, please kindly, sticks to your decisive decision ” No Time Waste” on the burning sensitive issues in RoSS, under kiir’s govt of heinous crimes and crimes against humanity.
Deterrence action is promptly necessary. The decision for probes on abusive crimes is a must, under leads expertise as this will bring the closure to the victims & relatives that justice prevail.
Be informed that, the Monster might diverts the course of justice. Hyenas SPLA, always messes up and blame Rabbits for wrongdoings in RoSS.
If DNA, has been erased and denied then ICC, must radically & swiftly involved with ” No Time Waste”. Since, Kiir’s govt has shown disruption,disrespect,disgruntled & disgraceful manners to humanity. Then he deserves thesame treatment as he did on the victims the deceases and alive.
Let kiir, malong & JCE reaped what they sawed.
We look forward for the justice to takes it’s full course of action the sooner the better. The rules of law is paramount in the RoSS, as we all knew that, when the SS became failed and lawless state, the evil kiir & his mobsters splamilitiasmen & JCE of Evildoers will play.
All criminals-run-Amogs offenders must be booked and brought to justice no joke enough is enough FULL STOP
GameOver.
God save RoSS.
